I have all my earbuds in little cases with a label on each one, otherwise I would go mad

To late for me!

This is a really good earbud:

I got the second one 16 ohm

You have proven that you're not mad... that's a good recommendation!

I have these too. The whole 'burn-in' thing actually did work for me with them (I didn't do some sort of formal 400 hour burn-in or whatever, I just found them to get better after like a few weeks or a month or so). They're so much better than my Yuin PK3s that were like $30+ years ago and about half the price.

I am looking for a new pair of earbuds without a mic and these look like a good option. Is the burn in method a common thing with earbuds? Is it as simple as just playing music while you're not using them?

Also if anyone has a personal recommendation for a really good sounding set of earbuds for less than $50 and no mic/volume control I'm all ears. My only other requirement is that the area where the headphones split off into a "Y" is not bulky. I need to fit it into a tight space for a project.

That is what I do....either using my desktop system or a DAP with good battery life.

Hi, I have been looking for some below 25$ earbuds. Had been using the MX760 Graphene and loving it. Unfortunately i ruined its drivers.
Waiting for your suggestions from Aliexpress, thanks!

Hi, could anyone compare the SR2 16ohms and DIY PK2/Docomo from Chitty store? (PK2: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32237685233.html )
By the way, there is a new listing at Chitty, featuring good old MX760 shells: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32359682471.html
Info about it is basically nonexistent, unfortunately I can't read chinese I'm waiting for another diy mx760 set at the moment, but it would be great to know something about this one, too.

I prefer the SR2 to the Docomo, I like them both but if I had to choose......

Thanks, SR2 then Is there any comfy small shell earbud under 30usd that can be considered a worthwhile upgrade from SR2? Something shaped like He 150Pro, **** BK2 etc. I prefer natural mids with bit warmth, good low bass and slightly rolled off highs.

I use my buds at home with various sources. My newly acquired Rose Masya very much reminds me of a good full sized open headphone.. Fit is very important though. Some people cannot wear them.

I actually can enjoy music for hours on end with most of the buds in my list... some costing less than $10.

Having said that, I do have to confess that I will forever miss the stereo system that I left behind in Michigan. Those old Advent Heritage floor standing speakers were a treasure. People still refurbish them.

Thank you for the reply. I took a look at you my gear page and you have quite a collection.

I prefer SR2 over the BK2. I really like the Toneking earbuds
